The Eco House, 5 Cappuck Farm Cottages, Jedburgh, TD8 6LX

The Eco House is a house shaped by craftsmanship, light and landscape - a self-built retreat completed around 2009, where every room seems to lean toward the southern horizon as if drawn to the beauty beyond the windows. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining space gather the daylight from morning to evening, creating a warm, uplifting heart to the home, while the ground floor also offers a utility room with walk-in fridge, a dedicated office, WC, control room and an accessible en-suite bedroom with built-in wardrobes, adding wonderful flexibility for multi‑generational living or visiting guests.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues with a master bedroom that wakes with the sun, two further doubles (one with en-suite), the versatile sitting/games room, family bathroom and loft access within two of the bedrooms. Throughout, exposed natural oak and rustic Norwegian touches bring a quiet charm, complemented by triple-glazed windows and a handsome Hexham stone façade that anchors the home beautifully in its rural setting.

Set within grounds of around 0.49 acres, the outdoor space feels like an extension of the surrounding countryside, with soft lawns, hard landscaping, raised beds for home-grown produce, a wood store, greenhouse and fruit trees offering plums, apples and pears through the seasons. Wildlife drifts through the landscape, and the southern aspect provides uninterrupted views that shift gently with the light. A hardstanding driveway to the rear offers ample parking.

The double garage and adjoining workshop are impressively equipped, featuring welding connectors, electricity, plumbing and an EV charging point. Above, the upper level has been transformed into a Scandinavian-inspired retreat - wood-clad, bright and inviting, with a kitchenette and shower room. While not suitable as an annexe, it makes a wonderful home gym, pool room or creative escape.

Blending eco-friendly design, thoughtful craftsmanship and the quiet magic of the Borders countryside, the Eco House offers a rare opportunity to enjoy modern comfort in a setting that feels both grounding and uplifting - a home where rural living and contemporary ease meet beautifully.
